Hi Gerry, I have a steep bank all around the back of our house. I have planted a beech hedge on top of the bank and am now looking for suitable plants or creepers to sow on top that might grow down to screen off the bank and prevent weeds/grasses from taking hold or alternatively something to sow at the bottom that may climb up. The bank is 8 to 10 feed high so apart from about a foot of topsoil on the top most of the rest of the depth is gravelly. Can you recommend something suitable and possibly fast growing. Thanks.
Gerry, Can you recommend a suitable feed for a young beech hedge (2.5 years old) ? Should feed be applied now or in early spring ?
Hi Gerry,Moved into second hand home in Co. Limerick over the summer. There was poor drainage in back garden of new home so I put in drainage and soakaway. Have it now levelled with top soil.

When is the best time of year to sow griselinia? Can you advise on ground preparation for sowing? Is it possible to buy bareroot plants now and plant them temperarily until intended area is ready and dryer, as budget is low.
